Watch: Toshio Suzuki Discusses Hand-Drawn Animation & Miyazaki

"The exchanges between Mahito and the heron... they really reflected my usual sort of conversations with Miyazaki." GKids has released a promo featurette video for Hayao Miyazaki's The Boy and the Heron. It features Studio Ghibli co-founder / producer Toshio Suzuki answering a few interview questions and discussing life with Hayao Miyazaki, working with Studio Ghibli, his thoughts on hand-drawn animation's relevance nowadays, and everything else. Miyazaki's new film The Boy and the Heron has been playing in theaters since December and is nominated for Best Animated Feature at the upcoming Academy Awards. "A young boy named Mahito yearning for his mother ventures into a world shared by the living and the dead. There, death comes to an end, and life finds a new beginning. A semi-autobiographical fantasy about life, death, and creation, [and] in tribute to friendship." With an original score by Joe Hisaishi, heard in the background of this video. I wish I could spend a whole hour or more chatting with Suzuki, there's so much more I want to ask and hear his thoughts on! Whether you've seen The Boy and the Heron already or not, this is a nice 5 minutes spent with Suzuki talking about the glory of animation and Ghibli films. View below. // Continue Reading ›
